Swivels

One of the leading elements of installation of horizontally directed drilling is the swivel. He acts as a connecting component between a boring column and lift system that does it by the most important mechanism of functioning of the drilling rig. Without allowing transfer of rotation from a boring pipe on the forced dyuker, the swivel carries out one of the major functions in the course of HDD.

The main property of a structure of this device is lack of functionally independent knots.

Characteristics of swivels

The major features which this tool has to possess, are considered:

ability to maintain dynamic and static loadings on an axis;
